Your Next Sound Guy

A Location Sound Mixer that you can count on when you say "roll sound!"

Brian Hansen
Location Sound Mixer

Providing Technical Scorcery for Over 25 years

I am a location sound mixer/recordist in Indianapolis, IN. I have a full audio package with a Sound Devices mixer, Wisycom wireless, boom, time code, and all the necessary audio goodies. When I am on set, you can feel rest assured that sound will speed.

I’ve worked for ESPN, FoxNews, Indianapolis Colts, NBC Sports, FoxSports, Indiana Pacers, Red Bull, IndyCar and many more regional and national brands.

I bring value to the entire set. As a “crew guy” I’m ready to carry cases and sand bags, load the van, hold a door, and be an all around helpful guy. You can even send me to get coffee!

I have mixed in some of the most chaotic and challenging environments, such as loud race cars and crowded NBA baselines. My approach is calm and calculated in every setting.

In addition to location mixing I do audio and video post production.

Based in Indiana, working worldwide

I'm available to travel worldwide. I have experience flying with gear and working in remote locations. Recently I've worked in Canada, Mexico, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Florida, and Texas. From my location in Indianapolis, I can easily drive to Fort Wayne, Bloomington, South Bend, Kokomo, Lafayette, Evansville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Nashville, or Memphis.

 ADDED BONUS: I Speak Spanish

Working in video production & documentary film for over 25 years.

Brian is great asset to any organization that wants results plus impact. Our project had a quick deadline and we didn't have to sacrifice on creativity with Hansen Multimedia. I am looking forward to future projects together with Brian and his team.

We have engaged Brian to assist us with a variety of technical projects including web design, video production and web integration. We have found him to be remarkably knowledgeable about a wide range of technologies. He is very pragmatic and has helped us to make good decisions regarding the best ways to get the most out of our limited technology budget. He is easy to work with and focuses on our needs. He is accessible, responsive, flexible and reliable.

Each time I have worked as a videographer for Brian Hansen, he exemplifies leadership in both how he relates to his clients and how he manages his crew. He examines every angle of a project in relation to his client’s needs and, as such, excels in making mission-critical decisions when the real-world situation doesn’t go as planned. He possesses the experience and insight to anticipate potential problems and plans accordingly to ensure a seamless day on location. As a producer/director, he arrives on set with a clear vision of the finished project. Equally important, he provides clear communication to his colleagues and crew members to ensure consistent results from the crew, which yields a excellent results for the client.
